"The. mining situation in Nevada
is decidedly better than it has been
for some time past There is plenty
of money for the developmeni of
good mining prospects. And though
there are many who maintain that
the recent laws passed regarding min
ing have prevented prospectors from
taking the field 1 have not found it
so. There seems to be entirely aa
much prospecting going on as ever
before, bill there is decidedly less
wild-eat ting."

CLUB WOMEN'S
CONVENTION ENDS I
Meeting Largest and Most Im
portant in History of
General Federation.
GREAT CRUSH AT HALL
Thousands Fail to Obtain Ad
mission to Hear Miss Mar
garet Wilson Police
Called.
Chicago. June 18. With the con
vention of the General Federation of
Women s Clubs concluded, the gen
eral council of that body met today.
Ah a result state federations will be
allowed to ote on two important
questions.
The first is whether to amend the
constitution to divide the governing
body of the federation Into an upper
and a lower house: the second, look
ing to a morp equitable territorial
distribution of directors, suggests that
ihe eonntrv be divided Into eight dis
tricts, each of which shall elect one
director At present there are six
directors, four of whom reside in the
middle west.
Chicago, June 18. The greatest con
vention ever held by the General Fed
eration of Women's Clubs ended here
today with a session of the board of
directors Mrs Perry V Penny
packer, re-elected president, was au
thority for the statement that this
biennial was the largest and most
important in its history
More than 70 clubs have come into
the federation in the two yean sinc
the last biennial convention. Mis. Pen
nypacker said, and a new system of
representation probably would have
to be evolved
Several hundred women inspi ted
torn gowns toda and not a few of
them had bruises to treat as a result
ot the crush last night to get into
the auditorium for the closing general
meeting
Huge Auditorium Packed.
The presence of Miss Margaret Wil
son, daughter of President Wilson, as
one of the speakers at the dosing
session of the biennial Federation ot
Women s clubs, tonight drew a crowd
that packed the huge auditorium
where she spoke, filled the streets
for blocks around the meeting place
and remained surging about the build
Ing until she had concluded her ad
dress and left the building. Never
since the exciting scenes of the Re
publican convention In lr,12 has so
great a gathering formed here to hear
and to see a public speaker Tin
special police detail at the doors saw
early that they would hae no u u.il
crowd to handle and the seats oi the
auditorium filling almost instantly, ll
was necessary to lock the doors for
fear those on the outer edges of tHe
crowd would force a rush of those
standing nearer the doors and cause
a panic
Many oT the delegates and some of
the speakers were unable to gain ad
mission until one by one the speak
ers were rescued from the crowd by
policemen and personally escorted in
through a stage door
Community Centers Advocated.
Miss Wilson advocated community
I centers. Public buildings, preferably
sehoolhouses to begin with should br
made meeting places for the public
discussion of public questions. she
urged, much on the order of the old
New England town meetings.
"At Washington, in the state capl
! tals, and in all cities the men elected
I to make laws, must have meeting
' places to debate and make up their
I minds " she said 'The people, who
! ha vp no sources of information but
the newspapers have no place Where
thej can meet and learn and cl i - ' i s -the
rights and wrongs of current is
sues."
